30 volunteers sorted and packed about 4000
pounds of donated food items for pick-up by the 288 agencies served by
the food bank. The US Census Bureau estimates that there are about
151,000 individuals in Alameda County who benefit from these services. Big thanks especially to the volunteers from
Christian Layman Church and San Francisco State University, and to the
staff at the food bank.

and packing donated food

It's harder than it looks...

...but a lot of fun too!

Not just bananas...getting all kinds of
food ready to go.

and opened containers

April 15, 2000: San Francisco Food Bank

19 volunteers gave up a morning of sleep
on Saturday morning to come to the food bank and prepare donated food for
distribution to individuals and families in San Francisco. In three
hours of checking food quality, sorting, and packing, we got a total of
3158 pounds (166 pounds per person) ready to send out. Great job!
